[Nexus 5 General] Mr2nSmith:
I'm running 6.0.1, so I hope I'm actually in the right thread, but this is the closest I can find.

I've unlocked and rooted my Nexus 5, but am still running stock otherwise. No real modifications, no system deletions. I just like the ability to customize the experience a little with some root-only apps that give you tighter control. I'd like to keep up with the stock upgrades (such as when a new version comes out -- and yes, I know that installing it may break root), so I'm just attempting to install a security patch that came out this month. I have the file saved on the phone as "Update.zip" I'm trying to install it manually with TWRP, and I keep getting an error code 7. Here is what the phone tells me:

"Package expects build fingerprint of google/hammerhead/hammerhead:6.0.1/MMB29Q/2480792:user/release-keys or google/hammerhead/hammerhead:6.0.1/MMB29V/2554798:user/release-keys;

this device has google/omni_hammerhead/hammerhead:5.0.2/LRX22G/3:eng/test-keys.

Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

Error installing zip file '/data/media/0//Download/update.zip' "

5.0.2/LRX22G is a Lollipop build, so I don't know why TWRP is coming up with that info. But is there anything you can do to help me? Or should I just skip this security patch altogether?

(My intention is to hang onto stock OS for awhile, and see what the next version looks like. At that point, I may have to re-root, so I'll consider what kind of custom OS's might be around, if I don't like the new stock. But for now, I'd like to keep it as is. )

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
There is no way that you can install an official update if you have a custom recovery and root just flashing the update zip. You can do it with two ways. The first is to flash the system.img recovery.img and boot.img of your current version from the factory image and then apply the update. The second one is described in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3075433

Waiting for mmb29x
[Nexus 5 General] KAGE-008:
I don't have the MMB29X OTA. However I don't want to lose my data just to unlock the bootloader for the factory image. Anyone has the OTA link yet? Had to sideload MMB29V because I wasn't getting it for almost two weeks since its rollout.
[Nexus 5 General] dbal:
Apart from the well known Android OEM fragmentation, Google doesn't seem to be able to deliver a small OTA update on time...2 weeks or more waiting on an Nexus device is simply unacceptable.
[Nexus 5 General] ironia.:

MOB30H factory image is out

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-mob30h-factory-66d165e6.tgz
[Nexus 5 General] dahawthorne:
In case anyone's interested...

Google have posted full system OTAs - not the incremental updates from one version to the next, but the entire image. The benefit is that they say it doesn't overwrite personal data. Up to now I've done partition-level fastboot flashing (radio, system, etc.) which is easy but a bit long-winded, so I gave the full OTA a go on my spare Nexus 5.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota

The page has the instructions.

I used TWRP for the ADB sideload; irrelevant, I think, because it's ADB that's doing the work, TWRP is just providing the channel, but other people have asked so I mention it just for info.

The sideload shows a progress percentage. It ran fairly slowly up to about 50%, and then when my attention was distracted suddenly finished.

On reboot I got the same Nova Launcher screen as I had before the sideload, so it looks as if all data & settings are intact.

I've lost TWRP & root, but those are easy to put back.

I'll be using this in future as long as Google keep posting these OTAs - very convenient.
[Nexus 5 General] Perseus:
MOB30M Full version is out. So is corresponding OTA

Links available via Google OTA Page.

Oh and if you have a custom Recovery such as TWRP, just put the OTA File (Not the Full Rom file) on your internal SD Card and then flash it via TWRP like any other zip file. My suggestion is to wipe Dalvik and Cache but you don't have to. With Android 6.x I tend to be on the safe side. Do note the rebuilding of ART Cache after that wipe takes quiet some time. It will be spinning on the boot logo without any sort of indication otherwise. Just be patient and it will finish eventually.

This will not work if you are on a custom Rom at this time. You WILL have to do Factory reset prior to doing the above step. There's no ifs and but about it.
[Nexus 5 General] gialakias:
Till now, flashing the incremental ota zip through twrp caused an error. It needed the stock recovery to sideload. This has changed?
[Nexus 5 General] Perseus:
Yeah it has. Ever since Google started offering Full System OTAs. See @dahawthorne 's post above mine.

Do note, after you apply OTA via TWRP/CWM, the custom recovery will be replaced with stock one (Along with Root).
[Nexus 5 General] amnher:

[Nexus 5 General] chk27:
Hi all,

I currently have a nexus 5 still on 4.4.4 (KTU84P).

Rom is stock, but with root (and TWRP). I also had xframework and xprivacy installed, but those are now both uninstalled.

Is there a way, maybe the simplest possible, where I can update to the last 6.0.1 (MOB31E) mantaining all data and then regaining root on the device? (I use AFwall+ and a custom hosts file, would like to keep using those).

I'm reading above that the latest OTA files from google are full system OTA, does it means I could flash those directly or should I go through 5 and so on?

Alternatively would it be possible to flash each .img partition from the factory image, except the data one, to have an updated system manaining data? If so how to proceed?

Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated, thanks
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Yes, easiest one is to flash all the image files except the user data. Then root again.
[Nexus 5 General] chk27:
Thank you kaushikd.

I can confirm that I've updated to the latest 6.0.1 without losing anything at all (apart from root and twrp, which are both easily re-obtainable thanks to the great work of their creators).

[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
Assuming that that you (or any of your root apps without you knowing) haven't made any changes to /system, then yes.

[Nexus 5 General] dahlem:
Tried the suggestions in the OP for the error "cannot read update.zip" error when trying to sideload" any other ideas??
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
That's probably because you have "Hide extensions for known file types" turned on in your Windows settings. So if you renamed the update file "update.zip", it is actually "update.zip.zip" that you need to type in the command prompt.

Flash Ota.zip from customUpdater.apk in Nexus 5 android 6 custom AOSP ROM

Scenario

-> custom aosp rom

-> stock kernel

-> without any google app (so no SystemUpdateServiceImpl service) I mean no system updater service

-> Have my own otaupdater.apk as system app

What I achieve:

-> Can download custom ota.zip from direct link using custom otaupdater.apk

-> In rooted device can reboot into recovery mode which take me to twrp recovery

What I failed to do:

-> can not write openrecoveryscript into system/cache/recovery/ directory

-> So no auto flash is happening

What I tried:

-> tried to set allow directory creation and file creation permission from within sepolicy/system_app.te

BUT FAILED

HELP NEEDED ...
[Nexus 5 General] :
You are trying to run the OTA over a custom ROM? Won't work.

Best thing you can do now is flash the latest image with fastboot. You'll have a fresh clean install then.

I'm not sure what you mean by custom ota image, but to get to the latest stock version, you need to flash it clean, in your situation. Ota updates need a stock device to work.

You need scenario 6 from OP.

As far as I remember. Haven't had my N5 for a long time. :)
[Nexus 5 General] godslave:
So how do I provide otaupdate for my custom rom users with the option to get a auto flash after hitting the install Update button from updater.apk ?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Ah, it's an ota process for a custom ROM. Yes?

I'm sorry, but I don't know about that. I thought you were trying to install a stock ota file over a custom ROM.

That's what this thread is about, stock ota updates. I'd suggest you look around for a better place to ask, or open a thread in Q&A about it.

You could look for a thread with help on that in Chef Central too, or find an appropriate thread to ask in. :good:

The Nexus 5 is long out of warranty. You'll have to install a new ROM if you want to keep up to date.

Not all OTA updates update the kernel, particularly small ones, so it's possible that you could still update even with a custom kernel, but it's not always the case.
